I hurriedly walked over and opened the note, and wrote a sentence on it, "Cousin, call me as soon as you come back, I can't contact you." ”

I took out my phone suspiciously, and there were no missed calls from her, could it be that I had lost contact with them again? This is not the first time this has happened.

I called her, the call was connected, and her tone was very anxious, "Cousin, are you okay, why did I call you several times in a row, and your phone was turned off?" ”

I was surprised, "Something can't be wrong with my phone, I didn't turn it off at all, what's wrong?" ”

"I passed by the bookstore last night, and Boss Ma said that he had something important to say to you, let me tell you, cousin, are you really okay? You tell me the truth. Wang Haitang asked worriedly.

I smiled, "What can I do?" Okay, I'll go over to Boss Ma and make it clear to him later. ”

Wang Haitang told me a few words uneasily, and then hung up the phone.

I just deliberately said that it was a malfunction of the mobile phone, I didn't want her to think nonsense, it was normal for me to call Team Leader Yang when I was pregnant with Huailu, why I couldn't receive a call from Wang Haitang, and the previous few times were the same.

I concluded that there should be a mastermind behind the scenes who deliberately blocked our phone contact at a critical moment, the other party was in the shadows, and I was in the light, and I was in a very disadvantageous position at the moment.

I didn't have time to think about it, so I cleaned up a little and drove straight to the bookstore.

Ma Yuan recovered better than before, his complexion was slightly ruddy, and his mental outlook was much better than before, it seemed that he had completely recovered.

"Mr. Zhang, you're here." Every opening sentence is like this, as if he has been waiting for me for a long time.

I stood in front of the cash register, put my hands on the cash register and looked directly at him, "You asked my cousin to tell me, why didn't you call me directly?" ”

Ma Yuan smiled, "I'm sorry Mr. Zhang, I've not used a mobile phone for many years, and I usually rely on others to convey news for me." ”

I cursed in my heart, whether he was deliberately making excuses with me, or he did have such strange habits, I didn't want to argue with him, I just wanted to know what was important about him looking for me in such a hurry.

"That friend of yours, Xue Xiaxia, has been missing for a long time, and I don't know her whereabouts, but if someone tells you that you have clues about her recently, you don't believe whoever it is." Ma Yuan's expression became serious.

I frowned slightly, "Since you don't know her whereabouts, why do you dare to deny it so arbitrarily when others provide me with clues?" What do you know, tell me the truth. ”

"That's what I know, I told you the truth, if you don't believe it, then I can't do anything, but I still have to be verbose, listen to people's advice to eat enough, I won't blindly tell you something that you have and don't." Ma Yuan picked up the purple sand teapot and took a sip, "You can judge for yourself, as a friend, I have already reminded you." ”

I took a deep breath, looked at him with my eyes and said solemnly, "I heard a friend say that I dreamed of her when I was sleeping at noon, and she said that she is now in Yuelonggang, I think this is a very true clue, I thank you for the reminder, but I still want to warn you, if you want to play any tricks, I will not be polite to you." ”

Ma Yuan showed a helpless expression, lowered his head to read the book, and no longer bothered me.

I turned around and walked out of the bookstore and returned home.

Although what Ma Yuan told me just now was quickly denied by me, I still need to analyze it carefully, first of all, Ai Ling, Xue Xiaxia in Long's dream, she is not a troublemaker, she doesn't need to lie to me, in addition, this is the first time Xue Xiaxia appeared in a dream, and told her location, this should be a very important clue, even if she is not in Yuelonggang, it has something to do with Yuelonggang.

What's more important is that Yuelonggang happens to be within the range of 1140, and it is the most marginal area, where it is an autonomous region of ethnic minorities, and the situation in it is very complicated, with people of all identities mixed together, hidden dragons and crouching tigers, I think the situation may be more chaotic than I imagined, I must go over once.

A day later.

At noon, I called Ai Ling and Long out, and had dinner with me and Zhao Heizi, and I told her that I was going to Yuelonggang tomorrow to look for Xue Xiaxia, whether I could find her or not, I would try it with all my might, and ask her to believe that I had never given up looking for Xue Xiaxia.

Ai Ling, Long raised her head and smiled a little unnaturally, "Not only are you going to look for Xue Xiaxia, but during this time, you'd better think about what kind of role she is in your mind and what kind of importance she has, I hope you won't let her down in the future." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Heizi immediately looked at me, his eyes were meaningful, with an old father's expectation.

I coughed a little embarrassed, "I know...... I already know about the situation in Yuelonggang, and I also asked Captain Zhu to help me contact the deputy director of the Yuelonggang Police Station, and he will assist me in the search, and this trip should not be too difficult. ”

Ai Ling, Long slapped the table lightly, frowned and said angrily, "Don't gag, I'm telling you something important, do you want to face up to your feelings for Xue Xiaxia?" She's not a young girl, she really can't stand your stumbling like this, you'd better give her an answer, don't let her down, do you know! ”

I'm a little speechless, if Xue Xiaxia knew Ai Ling, Long said behind her back that she was not young, I guess she wouldn't be too happy.

"Emotional matters are not serious if you swear by patting your chest in front of anyone, and after I find her, I will definitely make it clear to her."

"Okay, then I'll wait, if the answer you give me is not satisfactory to me, I will definitely not let you go." Ai Ling, Long deliberately pretended to be fierce, and clenched his fists, which made Zhao Heizi and I laugh, and the atmosphere was barely a little lighter.

Early the next morning, I stepped on the train to Yuelonggang with my backpack on my back.

The 6 a.m. train, which takes until 10 p.m., is indeed a long journey.

The current climate in Yuelonggang is very severe, Ai Ling, Long also told me yesterday to bring a down jacket and do a good job of keeping warm, otherwise I will freeze to death before I find Xue Xiaxia.

As for the situation in Yuelonggang, I don't have a practical understanding of the situation in Yuelonggang, except for what I learned on the Internet and what I heard from Captain Zhu, so I will be a blank slate after the past.

Captain Zhu also told me to be cautious in my words and deeds after I passed, because it is an autonomous region of ethnic minorities, so the customs and customs have a particularly strong national style, and their behavior and culture are very different from ours.

Captain Zhu's reminder is not superfluous, I learned that Yuelonggang is mainly a minority, called the Rong people, which was a nation during the strong period of the Yuan Dynasty, in fact, it has foreign blood, and it is a mixed-race nation.

They don't have a long history, but they have developed very rapidly, probably because they are related to the fighting nation, so the people of this nation are particularly tough, and even a little stubborn, I should really "be a man with my tail between my legs" in the past, and be low-key.

Including Tutu Jiwumu, the deputy director of the police station that Captain Zhu helped me contact, he is also from the Rong nationality and is nearly 40 years old, so I feel that he doesn't take me seriously at all, and he has a lofty attitude.

I took the initiative to call him to communicate, his attitude was very indifferent, and even said very polite, I said less than 5 sentences he said that he was very busy, hung up the phone directly, not to mention that he would send someone to pick me up after I passed.

But I didn't pay attention to these things, ethnic minorities have some minority tempers, after all, I went to someone else's territory, and I want him to help me find Xue Xiaxia, I don't need to worry about these.

At 10:13 p.m., I stepped on the ground in Yuelonggang with both feet, and suddenly a dry and cold air hit my face, and I couldn't help but shiver and pulled up the zipper of my down jacket.

Walking out of the train station, I walked around the train station and immediately experienced a completely different feeling from in Qiu Ying City.

I was surrounded by local ethnic minorities, who wore very ethnic clothes even in the middle of winter, similar to nomads, and some of them only added a cotton suit that made me feel barely modern, but I couldn't find anything related to the era in which I lived.

They are indeed fierce in their behavior, their movements are vigorous, everyone walks like the wind under their feet, and there are few smiles on their faces, and a cold iceberg face looks particularly cold.

Unless I meet some passers-by of other nationalities, or outsiders, their dress and behavior will make me feel a sense of dismay.

At this point in time, I didn't plan to call Tutu Jiwumu to disturb him, so I took a taxi and found an okay hotel to stay.

I live on the 5th floor, and I can see 1/3 of the city from the window.

The entire Yuelonggang is only 1/5 the size of Qiuying City, and the population is naturally not much, and it is the Rong people who occupy 2/3 of the population.

It is indeed a depression in the midst of slaughter, I can't find a kind of bustling city bustle, the cold air with a thin mist over the city, giving people a kind of psychedelia in the clouds.

Xue Xiaxia, where is she in this city?

At around 9 a.m. on the second day, I took a taxi to the police station, and after several twists and turns, I met Tutu Jiwumu in the conference room, who had just finished the meeting and was still listening to a detailed report from a police officer.

I stood at a distance and waited for him, and he looked back at me and didn't speak, his face covered in frost that made me feel a little embarrassed.
